délégation du Bangladesh. 
 
_______________ 
 
  Le gouvernement du Bangladesh a supprimé le régime de licences d'importation durant 
l'exercice 1983-1984.  En conséquence, aucune li cence d'importation n'est requise pour importer au 
Bangladesh quelque produit que ce soit.  Les questions relatives aux procédures de licences 
d'importation ne concernent donc pas le Bangladesh.
